Master's students of the System Operator became the winners of the CASE-IN qualifying stage at NCFU

A qualifying round was held at the North Caucasus Federal University (NCFU) VI The International Engineering Case Solving Championship at the Student League for the Electric Power Industry. Four students, two of whom are participants in the specialized training program of JSC SO UES, became the winners of the regional stage and will represent the Stavropol Territory in the final of the CASE–IN championship at the end of May 2018 in Moscow.

Nine student teams NCFU Participating in the regional stage of the Electric Power Industry League, they competed in solving a practical problem dedicated to the development of the Arctic region of Russia. During the competition, the participants presented a solution to the engineering case "Energy at the edge of the Earth" on the theme of the Arctic Development championship. Future power engineers have developed a project for external power supply to the Yamal-LNG plant, located in the village of Sabetta in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and intended for processing natural gas extracted on the Yamal Peninsula.

The results of the team performances were evaluated by an expert commission, which included NCFU teachers and representatives of the Branch JSC "SO UES" ODU of the South, a branch of IDGC of the North Caucasus PJSC – "Stavropolenergo", A state-owned institution Stavropol Regional Energy Saving Center. As a result, the decision of the PUE Witnesses team, which included undergraduates participating in the specialized training program of JSC SO UES, was recognized as the best. Alexey Starchenko and Daria Tuchina, and also Andrey Mironov and a 4th year student Julia Drinkko.

International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" − the federal case championship, during which students of leading technical universities in Russia and neighboring countries solve engineering cases - practical tasks based on real production situations in companies of fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. In 2018, more than 4,500 students from 52 universities are competing in six industry areas: electric power, geological exploration, mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, and petrochemistry.

In the final, which will be held in Moscow on May 30-31, 2018, the winning teams of the qualifying stages of each league will compete for the title of the best engineering student teams who will have the opportunity to complete internships and internships in leading industry companies. The winners of the Electric Power Industry League will take part in the annual summer educational forum "Energy of youth".
